Description

A soul-soothing, nutrient-rich broth packed with the warm flavors of turmeric and ginger, perfect for soups and stews.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 15 fresh curry leaves, torn
  • 2 serrano chiles, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 4-inch piece ginger, unpeeled and sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 3 pounds chicken bones
  • 2 chicken feet (optional)
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Water (enough to cover the bones by 1 inch)
  • Kosher salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Using the Saute function on High, toast the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric, and curry leaves for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the serrano chiles, onions, ginger, garlic, chicken bones, chicken feet (if using), and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour enough water over the bones to cover them by 1 inch (about 8 cups). Secure the lid.
  4. If using a stovetop pressure cooker, set it over medium-high heat, add the remaining ingredients, and pour in about 9 cups of water. Lock the lid.
  5. Using the Soup function, cook for 2 hours. If using a stovetop, bring to high pressure, then cook for 2 hours.
  6. Once complete, let the pressure release naturally for about 30 minutes.
  7. Pour the broth through a fine mesh sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth.
  8. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Roast the chicken bones at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes for enhanced flavor. Skim the fat from the top of cooled broth if too greasy.
